          Abstract

          El concepto de gobernanza adquiere cada vez más trascendencia en los debates teóricos europeos y en la práctica política, en tanto nuevo modo de gestionar las políticas públicas, a partir de las reformas del sector público en los años ochenta. Sin embargo, el debate en América Latina ha tenido características diferentes que el europeo, por lo que es necesario aportar una revisión crítica de la agenda propuesta para la transformación del Estado en la región y la transferencia de la noción de governance por los organismos multilaterales. Para comprender estas transformaciones, aquí se analizan tres áreas centrales de las reformas estatales emprendidas en América Latina: la privatización de servicios públicos, las nuevas ofertas de políticas sociales y los procesos de descentralización. Ello nos permitirá entender la tensión entre los modelos normativos y los particulares patrones de gobernanza que predominan en América Latina.

          Translated abstract

          Governance is becoming an increasingly important concept in European theoretical debates and in political practice as a new way to manage public policies, since the public sector reforms in the 80s. However, the debate in Latin America has different characteristics than in Europe, so it is necessary to provide a critical review of the proposed agenda for the transformation of the state in the region, and of the transfer of the concept of governance by multilateral agencies. To understand these changes the paper examines three key areas of reforms in Latin America and the privatization of public services, new social policies proposals and the decentralization process. This will help us understand the tension between normative models and specific patterns of governance that prevail in Latin America.
